A Book Highlighting the Sins Committed in Ignorance Regarding Donations,

The first English translation of the popular book 'Chanday kay baray maynSuwal Jawab' by Amir al-Ahle Sunnat Shaykh Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri.

Extract from the Preface: To learn Rulings regarding Halal and Haram is Fard:

The Holy Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has stated, ‘The one who learns one or two or three or four or five Kalimat [i.e. words] related to the Faraid of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and memorises them properly, and then teaches them to others, will enter Paradise.’ (Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 2, pp. 181).

A’la Hadrat Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Mawlana Shah Imam Amad Raza Khan, may Allah be pleased with him, has stated, ‘It is an absolute Fard for every individual to learn Shar’i rulings regarding his present state including the rulings of halal and haram as every human being is dependent upon them.’ (For detailed information, read pages 623 - 630 of Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol 23).

Dear Islamic Brothers & Sisters! Religious and welfare works often depend on donations. Although donations are collected one way or other, a number of people end up committing sins by making Shar’i mistakes due to the lack of religious knowledge when 'spending' donations. It is Fard for every donation-collecting individual to learn essential rulings about collecting donations. Therefore, with the sincere desire of accumulating the wealth of good deeds and protecting Muslims from sins, I have made a humble effort to provide information about donations in the form of questions & answers with the intention of gaining reward. ---Shaykh Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri al-Ridawi.
